GO WHOLESALE—The food wholesale center always fresh-forward for food professionals, operated by Central Food Wholesale Ltd. under Central Retail (SET: CRC)—is continuing to assist people affected by flooding through its branch network in Bangkok, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, and Chonburi. The company is expediting deliveries of food ingredients, drinking water, and essential supplies to government and local agencies for meal preparation, relief package assembly, and distribution to people awaiting assistance amid the severe flooding.
Heavy rainfall and runoff have triggered flash floods in Bangkok, surrounding provinces, and several other provinces, disrupting daily life in many communities. According to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM), as of 6 a.m. on September 27, 2026, flooding continued to affect 25 provinces, 128 districts, 587 subdistricts, and 2,500 villages, impacting 174,803 households, or 545,022 people.
The affected areas included Bangkok’s 50 districts, where approximately 52,000 households were impacted. Overall water levels remained steady, with continued monitoring required in Bangkok and neighboring provinces, particularly regarding the risks associated with further rainfall and water levels in the canal system.
GO WHOLESALE has delivered assistance through branches in the affected areas. The Rangsit branch in Pathum Thani has provided rice to Rangsit City Municipality for preparing meals and distributing them to local residents. The Srinakarin branch has supplied rice and eggs to village headmen’s representatives for delivery to Bang Mueang Municipality in Samut Prakan, where the ingredients will be used to prepare meals for residents affected by persistent rainfall and flooding.
The Charoen Rat branch has provided rice and drinking water to the Department of Older Persons, Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, to support meal preparation at the ministry’s relief kitchen within Rajvithi Home for Girls, helping deliver food and assistance to vulnerable groups and people affected by the disaster. Meanwhile, the Amata branch in Chonburi has provided materials for assembling and packing relief bags for distribution to flood-affected residents.
Additionally, the Rayong branch has rushed drinking water to the flood relief center at Noen Phra Town Municipality in Rayong province. Similarly, the South Pattaya branch has provided drinking water to Women and Family Development Learning Center in Honour of the Thirty-Sixth Birthday Anniversary of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, Chonburi Province to be distributed to flood victims and those facing hardship.
GO WHOLESALE remains committed to supporting communities surrounding its branches under “CRC Care,” Central Retail’s framework for sustainable business operations.
